Memories from the Set: Adam Scott Reminisces about "Party of Five"

Up until fairly recently, Adam Scott lived a very dramatic life… on screen, at least.

The "Parks and Recreation" star — who nowadays is known for his memorable comedic turns in projects like "Party Down", Step Brothers and the Web series-turned-E! hit "Burning Love" – was once, for lack of a better term, quite the drama king.



From crippling injuries on "ER" to unexpectedly career-defining roles on short-lived sudsers like "Wasteland" to unrequited love on "Six Feet Under", the early ’90s section of Scott’s resume is filled with heart-wrenching performances.

It wasn’t until the late 2000s that Scott found his groove as a go-to guy for all things funny.

At TVLine’s request, Scott offered up behind-the-scenes insights on an abundance of his pre-"Parks" performances.





"Party of Five":

Booking a recurring role on "Party of Five" was "a big score" for Scott because it "was the first time I did a show that I was already a fan of."

Originally, Scott had been in contention for the role of Neve Campbell's character's boyfriend - a part that went to Scott Bairstow - so the actor ended up playing "the nerd that has a crush on her for the season. They gave me the leftover part, which was still great... I got to go to San Francisco to shoot a scene, and for whatever reason, that was a big deal. I think it was the first time I ever traveled for work."
